27 | Matheus Nunes - 2024/25

[red 2 hats]

Played really well tonight, anyone picking fault is doing so just coz it's Nunes.

 

[bert38]

He can be really sloppy in position, sometimes make poor decisions but a huge positive is he can run and he can last 90 minutes-unlike so many.

 

[Gabriel]

Far more physical and aggressive, which was nice to see.

 

[Beanhead]

If only we could combine him and Lewis, think RB would be set for years!

Nunes already has brain farts.. and that is all Lewis offers.. so let’s stick to Nunes and help hone his natural ability.

 

[Dicko69]

He was very good tonight, could have done better on a few occasions but same can be said of every player in every game. Unfortunately some people have made their minds up on him and stick to that opinion instead of judging him fairly.
There was one point near the end where he carried the ball and did a full circle à la merlin. I'm in no way comparing him with our magician but it did remind me of him at the time

 

[Sibierskii]

Absolutely dog shit.

Never been as angry watching a city player play for us since Edghill.

State of it

 

[Thaksinssoldier]

Not a defender but he is trying his absolute best there.

Respect.

 

[jaiguruKun]

He showed some really good composure on the ball in the second half when he was one of our best players. He's still suspect defensively though and lost his man a couple of times. Is he worth another try in the midfield?

 

[Tevez City]

One of the best players tonight.

Keep him there Pep until the end of the season and he will save you 50million you can spend else where.

 

[IrishBlueSince92]

He’s pacey, aggressive and physical
Can do a job in right back against most teams I think

 

[samuelyeboah]

High ceiling, low floor type of guy. Definitely someone you want in the squad.

 

[hammersmithlad]

Excellent game. Was sure he'd end up giving a penalty away against Odobert at some point, but did really well.

Top performance from the lad & we looked far more capable & comfortable in contrast to playing Lewis at the RB position.

Admittedly, I too was expecting one brain fart moment from him tonight to be punished but thankfully didn't occur.

Thought he was also very composed on the ball & was a threat in the attacking phase. Also, can't underestimate his energy & worked his socks off especially in the second half when he wasn't getting help from Savinho tracking back.

Played really well tonight, anyone picking fault is doing so just coz it's Nunes.

I forgave him when he was in tears after the derby.

Someone who apologizes to fans and teammates after he realizes he made a mistake.. I can get behind since the first step to fixing mistakes is realizing you made one.

Seems that was his moment in the fire and Pep is forging him into something he can use after that moment. He's not quite got the football IQ of Bernardo but seems to be getting used in the Bernardo role as he has legs and can cover a lot of ground.

 

[Blue-Ghana]

He was good today ,but was hesitant.Saviniho put him through and he did not cross on 2 occasions

 

[johnny crossan]

Hairier chin required - needs to.play and look harder.

 

[pbueno16]

High ceiling, low floor type of guy. Definitely someone you want in the squad.

Excellent way to put it. If we can get that floor higher, he’ll be an even better squad player

 

[MCFCFanTX]

He was good today ,but was hesitant.Saviniho put him through and he did not cross on 2 occasions

Literally yelled at the TV when he did that.

Seems too hesitant at times and when he did hit a first time cross on the breakaway right before the half, it was awful and got an earful from Haaland. Poor guy hehe.

I don't mind Nunes as a versatile depth piece. If he's going to play on the flanks, he needs more consistency with crossing. Tbf, the entire team needs help with consistency in play.

 

[birchwoodgingerste]

Had his best game in a city shirt for me.

 

[Tevez City]

 

[doobyedoobye]

This will do his confidence the world of good
